Amanda Palmer said Depeche Mode is playing?

from Amanda Palmer`s myspace blog:

"shall try to blog before coachella but might not be able to.
so a few quick things....
if you are coming to the coachella festival (the cure! ahhgg!!! depeche mode! leonard cohen! paul mccartney! AFP!) , you might want to read this thread about a small revolutionary coup we may be leading. bring nipple tassles? we're trying.
if you aren't coming to coachella because the tickets are so effing expensive, you should follow me on twitter starting NOW because I'm about to give away a pair a day for the next three days (starting today). http://twitter.com/amandapalmer"

Re: Amanda Palmer said Depeche Mode is playing?

Considering she's all things Moz, I'm surprised she didn't say Morrissey. She might've just got her wires crossed. But. If it were true, that would fuck everything up, because that would just cancel even more bands I want to see this year but can't due to all of these ass-to-ass conflicts. I doubt there's anything I'd miss Depeche Mode for, with exception to Cohen.

If this is true I will be very happy but I just can't see it. Any room on the set times for them? I don't see any room except after The Cure but Roger Waters was 8:30 to 11:00 last year so I doubt this is likely.

UH, WHAT?

Re: Amanda Palmer said Depeche Mode is playing?

Yeah, if this is true, there's room for them on the Coachella Stage. MIA finishes at 9:45, Killers go on at 10:25. That leaves a pretty big gap of 40 minutes. The Killers could start at 10:15 or maybe even 10:00, play for an hour, and leave 11:00 onward wide open for Depeche Mode, just like Prince last year.

Friday and Sunday are going to be AMAZING, but Saturday is definitely several steps weaker. If Depeche Mode came, I would cry.

this is really going to fuck things up. finally when you think having the set times out will kill any addition rumors. you get this shit.
